What BW slang terms have you heard that you liked or at least were memorable, for whatever reason?
A few that've stuck in my head:
Bug Rancher – Derisive term for a Zerg player, lol
BBQ Drop – Stimmed firebat drop into a worker line (VERY effective, btw)
Fake n' Bake – Attacking somewhere else as a distraction so your ghost can get a nuke off
Trailer Park – Terran bases, lol ("I took out three of his trailer parks")
Stun Guns – Corsairs (strong resemblance)
Paper planes – Wraiths
'I gave him crabs' – mass Guardian attack
Cattlebruisers – BCs
Photo-op – Maelstrom
Gophers, prairie dogs – burrowed lings

I've always liked Cattlebruisers and paper planes.

To "Maynard" workers. The act of moving workers from your main to your natural, supposedly popularized by the great foreign BW player Maynard.

Yup yup. Originally called The Maynard Transfer™. I remember when it first became a thing.

Prairie Dogging

Pimpest Play
Obligatory slang for the clutchest or coolest of tactics and plays.
"It's only fun when it hurts"

Zergling rush, zealot rush, Zerging it down, gangbanging one korean in BGH, No Rush 20, etc.

If you place a Supply Depot at a certain area near the Refinery it makes the SCVs path better to mine gas more efficiently.

I remember a lot of players used to do this back in the day but I don't see it any more, I don't think it's necessary if the geyser is directly above or directly to the left of the CC, but placing a depot can speed it up when the geyser is in other positions.
